Hot air balloon

(note about the windy city of Chicago. Yes a strong wind does come off of Lake Michigan which can be very cold in the winter, however, the "windy" in Windy City is often referred to the "hot air" that blew out of the mouths of Chicago politicians in the late 19th century. Could've been the 20th and 21st also, I'm sure)

Gold Dredger

[Oddly enough the last steamboat I saw was the wreck of a gold dredger beached at the side of a river next to the 'Top of the World Highway' between Tok (pronounced 'Toke' with a long 'Oh') in Alaska and Dawson City, Yukon. I think this is a photo of the same one: https://fromalaskatobrazil.files.wordpr ... hicken.jpg

Oh. I had forgotten the HMS Warrior in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard which is technically a steamboat, but it's hard to think of a powerful warship as simply being a 'Steamboat'...]

Richard

Victory

Richard's reference to HMS Warrior reminded me of the Historic Dockyard. My Grandfather worked in that dockyard as a boilermaker most of his working life up to retirement.
He walked past Nelson's Victory every day...but never went onboard :lol: He came home one day laughing at a news item that there was a plan to refloat Victory. "They'll be lucky... The hull is lined with concrete!" he said :roll:
